An Update... of PICTCHAS

Well, I finally have time to do something! Sadly, I don't have much motivation type. This will be a bit of a summary of what has happened since JANUARy... wow, I'm lame.





My sister, Lucy was born! How cute is she!!!
Me, Lucy, and Annica. The Slaugh Girls

Anthony's sister, Katie, got married. How gorgeous is she?!

This was her face during the whole ceremony.

I got to take ho me some of her pretty flowers

Before the color festival



And AFTER!!! We made it on time this year!

The gang.. Kehly, Anthony, me, NAtalie, and NAte




My April fools joke.. I let him believe it aLL Day. He stared at a wall for 30 minutes.
It was EPIC.



Anthony decorate for my BDAY!

I made this!

My Easter Garland... Made from Paint Samples.
My cousin (2nd cuz but whatever...) made it, so
I copied.

Anthony studying. He wears this so he can't hear me watching Grey's Anatomy.

He is sooo funny.
This is why I love him.



So I graduate this Friday! I am freakin out!I am so excited. You are all invited to a BBQ.
my house. 3p. FRIDAY.
I didn't do announcements. Please come!

I have had 1 official interview. It was today at Westlake. I thought it went well, but my hopes aren't up. I don't think I will find a job, which is depressing.

Anthony begins applying to Texas medical schools on the 2nd of May. The rest of the schools' applications go out June 1st. I have been talking about this moment for 2 years and I can't believe it's here.
Wish him luck! EEEEEK.

Update :) Some Big Decisions Coming Up

Well... I only teach 6 more days. I can't express how excited I am.

It is so weird, but I am going to miss school. I wish I could always go to school,

but not have the homework (writing assignments.)

I don't mind the reading which is why I chose English, but I am DONE writing papers.

Which is really discouraging since I had my heart set on a master's degree.

Maybe in 20 years I will pursue that dream.


Anthony has been great.

Just getting geared up to apply for Med School. Applications go out on May 1 (for Texas) and then June 1 for everywhere else.


BUUUUT

my amazing husband has been offered a seat at

Cornell University.

Yes.. The Ivy League School. I can't even fathom being accepted into an ivy league school, let alone having them contact me!

He is a genius. Really.

It is for an MHA degree. (Hospital Admin.) Which is what his back up plan was, if medical school didn't work out. So we are in a pickle of a predicament.


I was thinking last month...

During testimony meeting at church couples are always saying

that they are making huge decisions that are life changing.

Yes, babies are life changing,

but other than that, I've never thought we had any life changing

decisions to make.


We are both very organized people who know where they are going... until now.

MHA school, at Ivy League-Prestigious-School,

or

Anthony's dream of becoming "The surgeon"...


What to do. He can do anything, but here comes our BIG decision.

I wish I had never thought

"Oh, I never make big decisions. My life is planned out to the day I die."

It is kind of like praying to be humbled.

DON'T DO IT.
